Chapter 22 The New Year

On New Year's morning, everyone in the family got up very early. After breakfast, Zeng Lingfeng thought that he had nothing to do, so he called Mr. Deng and regarded it as a New Year's greetings.

The phone was connected, and Zeng Lingfeng said to the phone: "Grandpa, happy New Year!"

Mr. Deng smiled and said, "Happy New Year! Good grandson, I have been waiting for your phone call last night. Who knew I hadn't waited for you yet. I didn't call until now. Tell my grandfather why didn't I call you earlier?"

Zeng Lingfeng was very angry. To be honest, he didn't think of calling Mr. Deng last night.

So Zeng Lingfeng had no choice but to smile foolishly with embarrassment.

Mr. Deng was just joking and was talking and was having fun. Seeing Zeng Lingfeng being careless, he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he asked: "What are you going to do in the new year? You brought most of your subordinates in the United States back to China, and you shouldn't leave in the short term. But what are you going to do in China? It seems that you don't have any industry in China? So too, you don't invest so much money in China, but it benefits foreigners. It's really unauthorized!"

Zeng Lingfeng smiled and said, "How is that possible! Am I just coming back? But to be honest, the domestic investment environment is not very good now. The main reason is that there are too many restrictions. I can't do many things!"

Mr. Deng said angrily: "Aren't you burying the reform and opening up I proposed? The domestic investment environment is not good now, so what should we do to be good? You said you can't do it. You kid don't want to do the arms business, right? If this is the case, it will definitely not work!"

Zeng Lingfeng hurriedly said: "No, no, it's not easy to do, it's too troublesome! I said I want to invest in some industries and explore and exploit mineral resources and energy by the way."

In fact, Zeng Lingfeng really wanted to do arms production, and the business was too profitable. But when he thought that this was absolutely unrealistic in China, he gave up.

Mr. Deng said: "Your idea is very good! All countries like you support me now! Why do you still say that you can't do it?"

Zeng Lingfeng said: "Grandpa, you are not unclear. My foundation in China is too shallow and I can't get through it! The water in China is too deep and the relationship network is too complicated. If you are not careful, you won't know who you are offended! I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything myself!"

Mr. Deng said, "You guys have so many tricks, who has your sperm? Aren't you just turning around and thinking about grandpa helping you? As long as you really care about the country and the people, grandpa will act as your backing, will it be successful?"

Zeng Lingfeng just said it casually, but he didn't expect the old man to take it seriously. After hearing Mr. Deng's words, Zeng Lingfeng hurriedly said, "Cheng, Cheng, that's great! Thank you very much!"

Mr. Deng said, "Since you have called me grandfather for so many years, and grandfather has not taken any care of you for so many years. Instead, you have been helping grandfather, which makes grandfather embarrassed. It is rare to have the opportunity to help you, so don't waste the opportunity, hahaha. But let me say it first, you can't be sorry to the country! Otherwise, grandfather will be the first to not let you go!"

Zeng Lingfeng repeatedly promised: "Grandpa, don't worry, this will never happen. Do you still don't know what kind of person I am?"

Mr. Deng said: "It's just that I know what kind of person you are, my grandfather agreed to help you! I watched you grow up, know what you have done for the country over the years, and I believe you will never be sorry for the country. By the way, what do you want to do? Tell me about it to my grandfather?"

Zeng Lingfeng said: "I have already said it roughly just now, mainly infrastructure investment and mineral resource exploration and development. Don't worry, I won't compete for business with the country, haha."

Mr. Deng said: "Infrastructure? This is an investment that has no return! Do you really do it?"

Zeng Lingfeng said: "How could I joke about such an important thing? Besides, I still have to invest in mineral resources. This has a great opportunity to make money, so I won't lose much. In addition, I didn't want to do this across the country. If this is true, no matter how rich I am, hehe."

"Not from the whole country? Then what places are you going to invest in?" Mr. Deng asked in confusion.

Zeng Lingfeng said: "Don't Chongqing want to be directly under the jurisdiction this year? My father's position should also be improved to a certain extent, right? I have accumulated some capital for my father, and I have some selfish intentions. Haha, so I plan to develop a small water conservancy in the rural areas of Chongqing, but there is a conflict with some interests of the Three Gorges Group, which is a bit difficult to deal with here. I want to ask my grandpa to help mediate."

"In addition, I want to start an airline. Isn't Chongqing not a separate airline yet? It's not good if there is no relatively independent airline now? I'm setting up one now, just to fill this gap. By the way, I will make the second phase of Jiangbei Airport ahead of schedule, and then build the Danxing Airport project that was stranded in the previous two years. I also want to make some contributions to the Chongqing-Huaixing Railway. In addition, I plan to build a Chongqing-Danxing highway to connect the southeastern Chongqing region with Chongqing. Well, these are what I want to do in the next one or two years." Zeng Lingfeng said some of his plans in his mind in a nagging manner.

After hearing Zeng Lingfeng's words, Mr. Deng took a deep breath and said, "Lingfeng, you have invested all your money for your hometown. You are really lucky to have Danxing! Indeed, the central government is planning the matter directly under Chongqing, and it has reached the stage of implementation. In the plan, your father will be the executive vice mayor in charge of Chongqing's economy, which can be regarded as a better use of his abilities."

Zeng Lingfeng secretly said to himself: "What better way to use his abilities? Isn't it just the idea of ​​a few old foxes staring at my pocket and wanting to hit the money in my pocket? It's still serious, it's really..."

In fact, how could Zeng Lingfeng do a losing business? Having an investment intention and starting a business is completely different. Naturally, he has to get his satisfactory benefits so that these things can be accomplished. Perhaps, for his father, he may make some concessions in small ways, but it is impossible to make him lose money and gain publicity. This is investment, not a charity.

Pressing the intimate complaint in his heart, Zeng Lingfeng said to Mr. Deng: "There are probably a lot of support from grandpa here, right? Thank you grandpa."

After hearing Zeng Lingfeng's words, Mr. Deng also knew that Zeng Lingfeng had already seen the plans of the senior management and said embarrassedly: "Thank you very much! It's not that your father is doing his own. The changes in Danxing over the years have been earth-shaking, and it was done without much emphasis on the policies of the superior government. So his ability is obvious, which satisfy us all, so his upward adjustment is also expected."

After pondering for a while, Mr. Deng continued, "Didn't you just say that you are planning to invest in mineral resources in China? Where are you planning to invest in?"

Zeng Lingfeng thought about it and told Mr. Deng a series of places, which included most places where a large number of minerals were discovered in the next ten years, and of course there were also some valuable places without minerals. This is also necessary, otherwise everyone would find abnormalities in every place, so who would not know that there was something wrong with it.

Zeng Lingfeng also adopted the same method when exploring abroad, but overall he still gained a lot. When Mr. Deng heard Zeng Lingfeng say so many things, he sighed: "Your appetite is really big! I'll tell you to the relevant departments, but you also have to arrange for someone to discuss with them in detail."

Zeng Lingfeng replied: "I know these things. I will arrange someone to take charge of this matter as soon as possible. Thank you grandpa!"

Mr. Deng asked again: "I don't think these things are worthy of your own responsibility, right? Then what are you doing in the future?"

Zeng Lingfeng didn't say anything for a while. When the old man was about to lose patience, he said two words: "Go to school!"

Mr. Deng on the other end of the phone was obviously thundered by Zeng Lingfeng because Zeng Lingfeng heard the "puff" sound and a cough from the other end of the phone. The old man should be drinking tea at that time. Maybe it was the time when Zeng Lingfeng didn't say anything in front of him that he started picking up the teacup!

After a long time, Mr. Deng's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Are you intentional? I almost didn't breathe! Alas, it's such a pity that a cup of good tea, it's the best big red robe!"

Zeng Lingfeng quickly explained: "Grandpa, I'm serious. I really plan to go to school."

Mr. Deng said: "You are a dual academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and a large number of teachers from academicians of both academies. Where do you go to school? Who dares to be your teacher?"

Zeng Lingfeng smiled and said, "No one knows these things. As long as you keep them confidential, who knows? I plan to go to elementary school. I should also be in the fifth grade of elementary school at this age, so I should do what children of my age should do!"

Mr. Deng said: "Aren't you afraid that your students will know about this? If they knew that their teacher was going to hang out with a group of little kids, one of them would be at most an undergraduate or even a junior college student to give lectures, hehe..."

The old man's malicious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zeng Lingfeng said carelessly: "It doesn't matter. As long as you don't say it grandpa, I won't know if I don't say it to others. Besides, it's no big deal if you know it, right? They should be able to understand it, and I still believe it."

Mr. Deng smiled, but did not say much about this issue. He reminded Zeng Lingfeng to remember to take time to go to the capital after the New Year. Zeng Lingfeng repeatedly promised that he had not forgotten, so Mr. Deng hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Lingfeng came to the living room. Grandpa was reading a book in the living room. When he saw Zeng Lingfeng coming out, Grandpa looked at him strangely and asked, "Sanwa, are you really going to elementary school?"

Zeng Lingfeng nodded seriously and replied: "Yes, grandpa, I will go to the town's central school to study for the fifth grade. I have asked my father to complete the procedures for me. I will go to school when the semester starts."
